1. Working that high-paying consulting gig while also working the State Department was wildly inappropriate. Her super expensive clothes give me the sense that she thinks she's entitled to live like a mega-wealthy person, but acting like a public servant. Yuck.
2. She stayed with Weiner way after it was clear that he was a really disgusing person. Not just stayed with him, but really enabled him and promoted him. Yuck.
3. She embodies the worst of the Clinton ambit, and why we eventually ended up with Trump. My view is that HRC was so absurdly targeted by the right wing during the 90s that she got a little paranoid, and then placed a high premium on surrounding herself with loyal people. Unfortunately, that means she didn't always surround herself with the smartest people, or the people that gave her the best advice. Huma was an example of one of these not-super-bright people who was able to advance themselves by being a loyal yes-man. I don't really blame her for this -- it's her job to make the most of her life with what's she's got, and she definitely did a good job there. But I don't like it.
If BC wants a smart, late 40's liberal type, I've got some suggestions for him.
Well said.
